The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J. B. SMITH, of the city ofMilwankee, and State of'l/Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Steam Oofl'ee-Pots; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the some, reference being bad to the accompanyingdrawing, forming part oi'this speciiication, in which Figure l is aperspcctive view of my invention; and

Figure 2, a vertical sectional view.

Similar letters of reference in each of the figures indicate corresponding parts. The object of my invention is to produce a coffee-pot for hotels, restaurants, and other places, to be heated by steam, and to make coffee in a superior manner.

A is the water-receptacle.

B, a. strainer, inside the water-receptacle, to hold the coffee.

E, the steam-pipe, which passes into the water-receptacle and lies in a coil on its bottom.

F, a, glass gauge, to show the height of the coii'ee in the cofi'ee-receptncle.

G, cock in steam-pipe leaving the water-receptacle.

H,a discharge-pipe from the cofi'ce-receptacle,to clean it out with.

I, pipe and cook to draw ofi" coffee from the coffee I receptacle. I

K, waste-Water and stomu-pipc. L, cock in the supply-pipqiiom which to drzm'weter into the COfiltC-FQUGPURCM S. r

of water to the water- I), to regulate the height I When too low, it I l drops and opens the stop-cock J; when high enough,

it rises and closes the stop-cock N.

N, stop-cock in the to the Water-receptacle and O, pipe and cook to draw \vnter-reccptzmle A.

P, strziinerover the pipe I in the coffee-pot.

Operation.

Put such quantity of coffee as is desired in the strainer B, and set the strainer in coiiec-pot- S. Then let Water into the water-receptacle till the float M will close the stop-cock Then draw from pipe, by means of cock L, waiter suflicient to' make the quantity of coffee required. Then put on cover 0. Then open cook E and let on the steam, open cock G to let the air out of the pipe, and keep it open sufiioient to give a current of pipe which supplies water both to the cofi'ee-pot.

off the writer from the steam through the pipe till the Water boils, which will be in a very few minutes. Keep the water boiling for some twenty minutes, when the coffee will be cooked. Then you can close cock G,2n1d let it stand, or keep the water boiling in the Water-receptacle.

The water in the coffee-pot S will not boil as long as the water and steam-pipe K is open.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. Water reservoir A, coffee-pot S, and steam-pipe E, substantially as described.

2. Reservoir l), with float M and cook N, in 00111- bination with reservoir A, substantially as described.

3. Reservoir A, strainer B, gauge 13, and coffee-pot S, combined, substantially as described.
